Selling out period. This particular story probably needs a little more time to get some actual facts in there though

I'd like to see how much the drug companies are profiting per pill. If a company makes a billion dollars profit, but sells 20 billion pills, I can't see how they can afford to significantly lower prices. In that case, tax cuts and deregulation make sense if it gives them the breathing room necessary to make those cuts.

People need to stop using legal drugs. Way over prescribed
Unfortunately my dentist is trying to stop the oxy addiction plague and tells me to use advil. Fucker -
The issue with drugs. They invest in hundreds of drugs but only a few hit. So they have to pay for the losers from the winners, which makes it difficult to assess profitablity like that.Fenderbender123 said:I'd like to see how much the drug companies are profiting per pill.

That being said, charging $35 in the ER for one aspirin is dumb. But if you buy OXY, it costs $8 after insurance for a bottle but the pills go for $50 a pill in the black market. -
Big pharma is destroying America.

We just wany to engage in juvenile name calling about that fake orange haired narcissistic sociopath... -
I recall seeing some numbers several months back that indicate pharma companies spend significantly more on advertising than they do on R&D; the "we need to rape you on the drugs that work to pay for the drugs that don't" argument doesn't hold water.2001400ex said:
